Former President Trump moves to overturn Manhattan conviction, citing immunity decision by SCOTUS.
Do you all see how Donald Trump is now using the SCOTUS ruling to declare his innocence and it hasn't been 72 hrs yet? This is what we all should be doing regarding the Chevron Doctrine.
We now have legal grounds to challenge every single agency. You no longer have to sit back and take anything. Build your team and strike whenever you have all your ducks in a row.
How a Landmark Supreme Court Decision Will Reshape the U.S. Energy Sector
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling on “Chevron deference” could affect federal regulations of everything from power plant emissions to electric vehicles to transmission lines. Forty years after the justices first decided Chevron v. NRDC, the high court opted to upend legal doctrine directing courts to defer to agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws, as long as the decisions were "reasonable." Now, courts could have more say in interpreting rules on everything from EPA’s latest effort to curb power plant emissions to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's orders on transmission lines.
"Where agencies appear to be carrying out sweeping and adventurous regulatory efforts to address our most pressing issues, that sort of effort is going to be immediately called into question," said Joel Eisen, a law professor at the University of Richmond.
The 6-3 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts came after the court had curbed agency deference in a series of recent rulings, even as the Chevron doctrine continued to be applied in lower courts.
Friday’s decision affected two cases — Loper Bright v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Commerce — and could have wide-ranging implications for a host of energy and environmental rulemakings.
Along with affecting EPA’s power plant rules and FERC orders, the decision could also make it more difficult for the administration to defend its efforts to reduce climate-warming pollution from cars and trucks. It could complicate the already embattled Securities and Exchange Commission’s effort to force public companies to disclose more information about their climate risks.
It’s not only the EPA, but EVERY 3 letter agency (IRS, CDC, and etc). CANNOT create any law, regulation, mandates, or opinions that is repugnant to the Constitution or legislative process. They do not have the authority; their perceived power is now non existent.
Resist! Your power has been returned to the people.

Indiana lost nearly 350k acres of farmland in 12 years, state estimates
Indiana lost about 345,700 acres of farmland to other purposes between 2010 and 2022, but agricultural productivity still increased, the state found in a study released Monday.
Most of it was lost to residential development around the edges of cities and suburban areas, according to the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA).
The inventory of lost farmland was an opportunity for ISDA and legislators to gain access to reliable data, where up until now, we could only make assumptions,” agency Director Don Lamb said in a news release.
“This information is important to have for policy development as we work to balance economic growth, food security and the preservation of agricultural land, because we know when agriculture is strong, Indiana is too,” Lamb said.
Lawmakers last year tasked the Indiana State Department of Agriculture with creating the inventory. Rep. Kendell Culp, R-Rensselaer, called his proposal “a food security bill” at the time.
ISDA recommended lawmakers let it update the report, involve local units of government in farmland preservation, and decide on a threshold for an “alarming level” of lost acreage.
“Agriculture is, and always has been, the lifeblood of the Hoosier state,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s secretary of agriculture and rural development. “Data is critical for all levels of government when making decisions that may affect our rural communities and food security.”
The study
ISDA used two data sources: a parcel dataset from Indiana’s Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) and a cropland data layer dataset from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The first showed a total of about 18.31 million acres of land with property class codes in the agricultural range in 2010, and a total of 17.97 million acres in 2022 across the state of Indiana.
That’s a decrease of about 345,700 acres — with cash grain and general farms, as well as specialty crop farms, losing the most. Much of the land was converted to residential, according to the report, and some went vacant.
ISDA also compared 2010 and 2022 data to find the primary drivers of acreage losses and additions. However, researchers found matches for just 85% of parcels.
The cropland data layer, after image generalization processing, showed about 14.84 million acres of land with land classified as any type of agricultural use to in 2010, and a total of 14.18 million acres in 2022.
That’s a difference of 664,988 acres. Most was lost to developed land, but some became forest.
But ISDA said quantity estimates from the second dataset are “likely less reliable.”
The two methods yielded differing results, which the agency said was probably because the datasets categorize agriculture or farmland differently.
The state’s five biggest farmland losers included Allen, Elkhart, Jefferson, Knox and Monroe counties.
Despite land losses, Hoosier cash crop production is up.
Indiana produced about 597 million bushels of corn for grain in 2012, but over 1 billion in 2022, per the report, which cited USDA yield data. Soybean production also increased from about 219 million bushels of soybeans in 2012 to over 326 million in 2022.
“No two counties are the same and neither are their comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances or land use decisions,” ISDA said. “Local units of government should be empowered to identify land use trends in their area and use all available information when making land use decisions.
But not all communities have plans. They’re not required.
So the agency pushed local units to be “proactive rather than reactive” and to “ensure they have a strategic vision” for the future.
It also suggested lawmakers find a threshold at which shrinking farmland “significantly reduces” access to food — while keeping in mind that technological changes have allowed farmers to produce more on less land.

Medtronic- Engineering The Extraordinary
The Med-Beds that may have already been developed covertly can realistically be moved from underground via delivery trucks to medical institutions in certain areas with high security. Once there, these Med-Beds could be installed in specialized medical facilities equipped to handle this technology. Highly trained medical professionals would be required to operate and maintain these by ensuring they are used effectively and safely.
The introduction of Med-Beds ofcourse will revolutionize healthcare, offering advanced healing capabilities that traditional medicine cannot match. Patients with chronic illnesses, severe injuries, or other medical conditions could potentially see rapid recovery times and improved outcomes will be 1st priority.
To ensure equitable access, protocols would need to be established for prioritizing patients and integrating this technology into existing healthcare systems. Additionally, comprehensive training programs would be necessary to educate medical staff on the operation and maintenance of Med-Beds.
Security measures would be paramount to protect this valuable technology from misuse or theft. The rollout of Med-Beds could begin in select pilot locations, with data collected to refine the technology and protocols before a broader implementation.
Public awareness campaigns would be essential to inform the population about the capabilities and availability of Med-Beds, addressing any concerns and managing expectations. Collaboration between healthcare providers, and the private sector would be crucial to ensure the successful deployment and integration of Med-Beds into the healthcare system.

Missouri RINOs Pull a Fast One — Remove the Pro-Trump Delegates Elected at the State Convention in May
At the GOP’s Missouri state convention in Springfield, Trump-supporting members of the GOP took over and prevented RINOs in the state from setting the agenda and the delegates for the RNC. This was reported on May 4.
The list of rejected delegates includes two of the major GOP candidates for governor, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and state Sen. Bill Eigel.
“The committee holds that the State Convention was not properly credentialed, and that any slate of delegates and alternate delegates adopted at the State Convention must be discarded,” states the report signed by Chairwoman Jeanne Luckey of Mississippi.
The committee acted after investigating complaints from state convention delegates Daniel O’Sullivan of St. Louis County and Derrick Good of Jefferson County.
They alleged delegates to the state convention were not properly credentialed as the convention was organized, that the rules for selecting the state’s at-large delegates were improperly changed during the convention and that some delegates were listed on more than one slate of names in violation of the rules.
The committee, after determining that the complaint about credentialing had merit, wrote that it did not need to consider the other complaints and made no ruling on them.
“Contestants have provided ample proof of alarming irregularities in the state convention’s credentialing procedures, including the absence of names on delegate lists, the distribution of delegate credentials to alternate delegates without confirming who they were replacing, and the failure to ensure alternate delegates were raised from the same counties as the delegates they were replacing, among other things,” the report stated.
COLBERT COMMENT:
The manipulation of the “Republican Rules” is occurring all over the Country. I was an elected Indiana Delegate and was removed; this was election interference by disenfranchising the public’s representative.

Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales chats with voters at a campaign event earlier this year. (Nathan Gotsch/Fort Wayne Politics)
Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales’ office warned more than 120 federal agencies operating in Indiana against providing voter registration services described in a three-year-old presidential executive order without state approval.
“This letter from my office is in response to the broad executive order from President (Joe) Biden directing federal agencies to engage in election activity,” Morales said Tuesday on his personal X account.
“States know best when it comes to our elections,” he continued. “We don’t need federal government overreach to run safe, secure elections!”
Morales’ office didn’t immediately provide specific examples of law-breaking.
A pandemic-era order, and a letter
Biden’s spring 2021 order , noscriptd “Promoting access to voting,” mandates federal agencies to “consider ways” to encourage citizen participation in the electoral process.
He ordered agency heads to evaluate options — “consistent with applicable law” — like public information campaigns, agency website links to state and federal voter registration resources, and “direct engagement.” That could include distributing voter registration and mail-in ballot application forms, helping citizens complete the forms, or having nonpartisan third parties provide those services.
In his June 28 letter , Morales wrote, “It has been brought to my attention that President Biden’s federal executive order …. effectively orders all federal executive departments and agencies to ‘expand access to voter registration.'”
We don’t need federal government overreach to run safe, secure elections.
– Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales
It was sent to more than 120 federal entities, a spokeswoman said.
Morales noted that, under longstanding law, a state must ask an agency to be a designated “voter registration agency” in order for the agency to conduct voter registration activities.
And, he continued, “To my knowledge, your agency is not a designated voter registration agency.” He asked agency recipients to report any directives they received and actions they’ve taken to implement the order within 10 days of receipt.
“If your agency has been distributing voter registration forms or assisting the public with voter registration or absentee voting forms, you are requested to discontinue such action immediately, as the unauthorized conduct of such activity is likely violative of Indiana and federal law,” Morales wrote.
Biden’s order, however, required agencies to agree to the state’s request, “to the greatest extent practicable and consistent with applicable law.” If the agency were to decline, they’d have to submit a written explanation of the decision.
The order also required heads of agencies that directly engage with the public to “formally notify” states in which they operate that they would agree to being a designated voter registration agency.
Part of a trend
Morale’s letter is the latest rejection of Biden’s order.
Conservative activists and politicians across the country, including political action committees and a Republican-led House committee, have targeted the order in recent months, Politico has reported .
Morales in May joined eight fellow Republican secretaries of state in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take on a case challenging the order. The court said it wouldn’t do so by the end of June, and won’t consider taking it up until the fall.
But Morales isn’t the first from Indiana to push back against the order.
Former Secretary of State Holli Sullivan — who Morales beat out for the position — was among 15 GOP secretaries of state to sign onto a 2022 letter to Biden asking him to rescind the order.

EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
History Lesson: Before it was Reitz Hill it was Coal Mine Hill
Before the construction of Reitz High School, Reitz Hill was the home of a large coal mine known as Coal Mine Hill.
The first mine at the site, which was owned by Bodium Coal Company, opened in 1858, making one of the earliest mining operations in the state.
In 1883, the mine was purchased by John Ingle Coal Company, taking the name Ingleside Mine. Coal was removed by hand with the aid of miniature horses and mules.
The mine produced a bituminous coal, a higher quality coal being used in smithing and metallurgy. Coal was transferred first my barge and later by rail.
Several mine inspections of the time noted that the mine was relatively safe, compared to other operations at the time.
In September 1893, a fire in the mine killed 11 mules but no miners were killed. Eventually, the mine would reach a depth of 265 feet, even mining below the bend of the Ohio River.
The mine was closed in 1917.
The hill overlooking downtown Evansville became prime real estate and was chosen as the site of a new west side high school. Reitz Hill supplanted the name.

The Chevron case determined by the US Supreme Court this past week, provides an opportunity and the catalyst for the Indiana Secretary of State, Diego Morales, to ban all federal agencies that have infiltrated the Indiana elections. The usual suspects, EAC, CISA, CIS, and others must be removed from Indiana election system immediately.
The Indiana Secretary of State, has the moral responsibility and legal authority to provide the leadership to eradicate undue influence from Federal “unelected” offices.
This is exactly the basis of the Chevron case, to allow for the rule of law to govern rather than unelected officials or agencies. It is way beyond time to act to restore election integrity to Indiana.
Diego Morales’ campaign promise was to assure a free and fair election.
There is an opportunity to remove the Federal Government and it’s contractors from Indiana elections. Diego what are you waiting for? Act! Hoosiers will support you.

The Indiana Secretary of State, has the moral responsibility and legal authority to provide the leadership to eradicate undue influence from Federal “unelected” offices.
This is exactly the basis of the Chevron case, to allow for the rule of law to govern rather than unelected officials or agencies. It is way beyond time to act to restore election integrity to Indiana.
Diego Morales’ campaign promise was to assure a free and fair election.
There is an opportunity to remove the Federal Government and it’s contractors from Indiana elections. Diego what are you waiting for? Act! Hoosiers will support you.

Joe Hoft shredding the FBI for covering up the crimes of the 2020 election across the country, especially Georgia and Michigan.
“If something happens to me, we’ve got the evidence, more than just video, we’re going to drop this bomb piece by piece on these animals.”
📝U.S. Congress certified a criminal enterprise on Jan 6.
After spending more than a decade as an international corporate executive, Joe Hoft is now a radio host and an author. As one of “The Hoft Brothers”, he is also a key contributor at his twin brother Jim Hoft’s award-winning conservative website, The Gateway Pundit.
So how is Indiana involved? Both Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun “certified” the 2020 Election on January 6th, even after State Delegates asserted the election irregularities were known. Vice President Pence, presiding over the meeting called for the certification of the 2020 Election.
This is the basis of the Brunson Case currently in the US Supreme Court to remove the majority of Congress for certifying that fraudulent election; including Young and Braun.
There is a pending amicus brief, filed in Georgia, in which Supreme Court Judge, Clarence Thomas will determine the “decertification” of the 2020 Election. It’s coming!!!

INDIANA State Rep. Culp on Farmland Loss: ‘We Should be Concerned as Hoosiers’
Yesterday we told you about the report released by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture that showed just under 350,000 acres of farmland lost in Indiana between 2010 and 2022.
“I would say the data is significant. In my mind, we should be concerned as Hoosiers,” says Republican State Representative Kendell Culp who represents House District 16 in Northwest Indiana.
The Rensselaer farmer authored the bill asking ISDA for the data regarding lost farmland. He put his math skills to the test and says if you divide the number of acres by the size of the average farm in Indiana, “we’re losing 106 farms per year. At this rate, that’s what that works out to be. And that’s substantial. You know, 94% of Indiana’s farms are family farms, so just say 106 of those are going to be family farms that are no longer going to be in existence every year. These are real people. These are people that are doing business in their local communities, that are supporting the food chain. And so, it becomes very personal, I think. And again, these numbers do not include renewable energy conversions.”
So, what’s next? Culp says the legislature should all agree that this is a problem that needs a solution, or at least a majority should. Then, it’s time to start looking for solutions because this is a food security issue.
“If ag is important to our communities, then I think we have to look at not only how can we protect the farmland, but how can we protect the farmer. And so, I’m going to be digesting this information on a personal level and coming up with some thoughts and ideas, and I certainly welcome input on that, on how can we protect the farmer? How can we say to them that you’re important, that we know that there are a lot of struggles, there’s a lot of competition out here for your land, and instead of leasing it for another purpose, what kind of incentive would it take for you to keep it in production that produces food? I think that’s really going to be an important question we’re going to have to find an answer to.”
Culp throws out some potential incentives and discusses some of the issues farmers will face at the Statehouse this year, like property taxes, in the full HAT interview below.

Why Are They Building SECRET DETENTION CAMPS in All 50 States? w/ J.J. Carrell
There is an active 5 year contract with the Department of Defense to create “detention centers” in every US State. The public has been identifying some completed facilities and sharing the intention of our Federal Government.
It seems logical the Indiana facility would be located at a large military complex such as Crane Naval base in Central Indiana. Try asking questions of your elected officials, but be forewarned, they will assert you are “harassing” them for inquiring.

John Rust petitions U.S. Supreme Court to evaluate Indiana’s party affiliation statute
John Rust, who earlier this year was denied access to Indiana’s GOP primary ballot, is appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States — seeking review of the Hoosier high court’s split March decision that stymied his candidacy.
Rust filed his 217-page petition with SCOTUS on Monday. In it, he argues that the justices should revisit Indiana’s “harsh ballot access laws” that keep him “and over 81% of all Hoosiers off of primary ballots.”
The petition posits Indiana’s ballot access laws are “uniquely harsh” and “do not serve any legitimate state interest,” but instead “cater to political party bosses, disenfranchising party members and voters.” Rust additionally asserts that the Supreme Court’s test for assessing ballot access issues “needs to be revisited and clarified.”
Indiana Supreme Court issues 3-2 opinion upholding party affiliation statute in Rust case
His request comes after the Indiana Election Division voted unanimously in March to block Rust’s Republican candidacy.
The basis for the state panel’s decision was an Indiana party affiliation law that prohibits candidates from running whose last two primary votes don’t match the party they wish to represent.
If the U.S. Supreme Court accepts the case, oral arguments would likely not be heard until early next year, according to Rust’s legal counsel. Even so, Rust said he expects a decision by this fall on whether the court will take it up.
“As I promised when the Indiana Supreme Court’s opinion was issued, I will continue to fight for ballot access for all constitutionally qualified Hoosiers,” Rust said in a statement. “At a time when hard working Americans feel their voices are not heard and their votes do not matter, this is a battle that has to be fought. I will never stop fighting for Hoosiers and all Americans.”
A final plea to the U.S. Supreme Court
Rust sought for months to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Banks for the GOP U.S. Senate nomination, but a state law requires a candidate’s two most recent primary votes align with their preferred party — a bar Rust didn’t meet.
The Seymour egg farmer voted Republican in 2016 and Democrat in 2012. The law allows an exception, should the county’s party chair grant it. Jackson County Republican Party Chair Amanda Lowery elected not to do so in this case.
He sued to gain access to the Republican ballot, saying the measure barred the vast majority of Hoosiers from running under their preferred party.
Marion County Superior Court Judge Patrick J. Dietrick found in December that the two-primary requirement is unconstitutional. But the state appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court expedited the case as a matter of “significant public interest.”
Both the Indiana Supreme Court and Indiana Election Commission separately found him ineligible in February rulings. The commission cited the law, which the Supreme Court upheld in a ruling — prompting Rust to file for a rehearing.
In his SCOTUS petition, Rust doubled down that the Indiana Supreme Court’s majority opinion requires him “to abandon his party affiliation to gain ballot access and denies voters choices on the primary ballot.” Because Indiana is a Republican supermajority state, “the primary election often is the election,” Rust emphasized in his filing.
